The progressive increase in the use of multimedia and interactive platforms, including world social media, mobile devices, which affects new generations, must be considered. In particular, prospect integrating technologies into learning teaching processes is not possible. this paper, we intend to describe a research that has been done sense develop reflections it aroused. articulate paper descr...

In this paper, we use sensor-free affect detection [4] and a discovery with models approach to explore the relationship between affect occurring over varying durations and learning outcomes among students using Cognitive Tutor Algebra. Researchers have suggested that the affective state of confusion can have positive effects on learning as long as students are able to resolve their confusion [1...

Much of the work in machine learning has focused on demonstrating the efficacy of learning techniques using training and testing phases. On-line learning over the long term places different demands on symbolic machine learning techniques and raises a different set of questions for symbolic learning than for empirical learning. We have instrumented Soar to collect data and characterize the long-...

Hippocampal place fields have been shown to reflect behaviorally relevant aspects of space. For instance, place fields tend to be skewed along commonly traveled directions, they cluster around rewarded locations, and they are constrained by the geometric structure of the environment. We hypothesize a set of design principles for the hippocampal cognitive map that explain how place fields repres...

In two pilot experiments, a new approach for the direct assessment of cognitive load during multimedia learning was tested that uses dual-task methodology. Using this approach, we obtained the same pattern of cognitive load as predicted by cognitive load theory when applied to multimedia learning: The audiovisual presentation of text-based and picture-based learning materials induced less cogni...

Cognitive tools, defined here as instruments that support or perform cognitive processes for learners in order to support learning, can bridge the difference between open learning environments, like discovery learning environments and traditional supportive instructional environments. This article discusses a definition of the concept of cognitive tool and its use in learning. Two examples of c...

l2 learners’ multiple intelligences (mi) profile plays a central role in theirperformance on different aspects of language learning, one of which is the use oflanguage learning strategies (llss). gaining insights into the relationship betweenmi and llss makes l2 teachers better understand their learners’ strengths andweaknesses in the use of such strategies and lets them guide the learners bett...
